White Lies – Getting Even Lyrics
So if you go
And leave recklessly
we can only be mean
we can only be mean
That’s something I
through the turns in my life
Never wanted to be
Never wanted to be
But if you stay
Just a bolt in the bow
Then you’ll never know
Then you’ll never know
How you could miss
Like the day light the way
You’re missing us now
You’re missing us now
So listen to some reason
There’s nothing in your dreams
But if you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense we’ve made
Now if we kiss
Then the moon in the sky
would linger a while
would linger a while
So as to give just an inch more of night
But you break from my life
No more kiss no more I
But listen to some reason
There’s nothing in your dreams
But if you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense
It’s the worst part of the best of me, best of me
Love and trying so hard to be free
Worst of the best of me, best of me
Love, I’m trying so hard to be free
Lonely but free
And out of love
If you’re getting even
You’re getting even (x2)
If you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense

Anon 4:11 again: oops, meant “through the turns in my life”
Thank you for the help, we have corrected the lyrics!
Lyrics need to be corrected. It’s: ” we can only be mean”, ” through the terms of my life”, “bolt in the bow” (which is a reference to archery. Another term for ‘bolt’ is ‘quarrel’, which makes the lyric interesting given what the song is about), and “would linger a while”, and “Love, I’m trying so hard to be free”. It also sounds like “gift just an inch more of night” and “no more kiss no more rise”
